Restless Spirit: The Life and Work of Dorothea Lange by Elizabeth Partridge

5.0

Wonderful biography about one of the most fascinating women in American History. As a photographer, she not only captured some of the most pivotal historical events like the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl, her photographs carried the weight of humanity; love, loss, shame, fun and everything else. Its a true artist who can show the complexities of her time using only black and white. Inspirational doesn't even begin to describe Dorothea. Though I found this in the Kid's department of the local library I highly suggest this to anyone interested in strong feminist figures, photography, and seeing life with a new perspective.
